Brick Gothic
Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRI : Brick Gothic
Brick Gothic is a reduced style of Gothic architecture in Northern Europe, especially in the regions around the Baltic Sea without natural rock resources. The buildings are built more or less using only bricks. The resultant style is called Backsteingotik in Germany and Poland. Brick Gothic buildings therefore are to be found in the Baltic countries Denmark, Finland, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia and Sweden. Some of them are World Heritage Sites.
